The QSC eight channel CXD-Q and CXD-Qn Series amplifiers represent an advancement in amplifier technology coupled with outstanding integration capability as part of a Q-SYS system. Designed specifically for the needs of integrators, CXD-Q and CXD-Qn provide efficient, robust and extraordinarily high fidelity power to drive multiple channels and configurations of loudspeakers – all with optimal energy and rack space efficiency. The eight channel CXD-Q and CXD-Qn Series amplifiers consist of an 8,000W and 4,000W amplifier each. All models providing full Q-SYS capability with audio routing, processing and control. The amplifiers allow the user to configure and combine channels in various ways to drive a wide range of loudspeaker systems including 70V and 100V without the use of transformers. These amplifiers not only provide the power and processing make your system perform better, they offer outstanding efficiency ensuring that energy costs will be kept to a minimum over the life of the installation.

Flexible Amplifier Summing

CXD-Q Series amplifiers feature Flexible Amplifier Summing TechnologyTM (FAST) that enables up to four channels to be combined for higher output power. With their +/- 150V rails, each channel on the CXD-Q Series amplifiers is capable of driving Low-Z, 70V, or 100V loads directly. This flexibility allows CXD-Q Series amplifiers to drive (for example) two full-range surface mounted speakers along with a subwoofer and one 100V distributed speaker line; or a high-power subwoofer and a bi-amplified full-range loudspeaker; three 70V distributed speaker lines and a low impedance surface mount speaker line; or a single high-power channel driving monster subwoofers.

Q-SYS Connectivity

The CXD-Q and CXD-Qn Series amplifiers are part of the Q-SYS Platform. They are true Q-SYS peripherals meaning that they can connect on a Q-LAN Layer-3 network with the capability to source and receive signals. The CXD-Q models offer eight channels of mic/line input directly on the back of the amplifier and act as a Q-SYS on-ramps in addition to amplification. The CXD-Qn models are network input only to simplify system design and reduce system cost when additional input are not needed. Both models provide eight bi-directional GPIO ports within the Q-SYS Platform for further interfacing with other equipment. It also means that these amplifiers that the Q-SYS Platform can manages the fault protection and notification. If for any reason an amplifier goes off-line or has a fault, the platform can alert the operator and ensure that system retains its integrity.

Power & Space Efficiency

The CXD-Q and CXD-Qn Series eight channel amplifiers use QSC’s fifth generation class-D power amplifier design providing high voltage operation and offer outstanding audio quality and thermal performance. They benefit from the proven PowerLight power supply made better with Power Factor Correction (PFC) that aligns the current waveform with the AC mains voltage waveform. PFC enables these amplifiers to draw current from the wall in a more efficient and controlled manner resulting in incredible output power from a single standard AC breaker. This series also incorporate several energy conservation and efficiency strategies, one of which is a unique multi-stage sleep mode that saves energy when possible without sacrificing performance. With eight channels of amplification addressable from the network in just 2RU and eight channels of mic/line inputs on the “Q” models, the CXD-Q amplifiers replace equipment taking up as much as three times the rack space.

Integration Simplicity

 The Q-SYS Platform is a complete integrated system that encompasses everything from the audio input to the output of the loudspeakers. As part of a Q-SYS system, the CXD-Q and CXD-Qn Series amplifiers are just some of the many peripherals that can be intuitively placed in a design and wired into the system. The centralized design maintains operational simplicity because not only does it allow for a “whole system” design philosophy, but Q-SYS configures and manages all peripherals to ensure that all elements of the system are functioning correctly.
